NSW wouldnt be a player short for a day - he would simply replace another player for day 2 onwards.

It has happened before and will happen again.

When has this happened before in a PC match?

Lee is not playing in either the 2nd test or the finals of pura cup, huge shock, I thought he would be welcomed into the final, but Australia insist he will be covering until the final minute, although I cannot see any Australian getting injured in the next 12 odd hours.
What about food poisoning?

If he disappeared, they've have only 3 pacemen and 1 spinner in the country, and if one of them got injured or sick...

lol i dont think that playing just 3 bowlers, even with plenty of part timers would be ideal, that said it might make it a little closer ;)

You do remember the score when Gilly came in in the 1st Test don't you?

I'm sitting in the R.A. Vance Stand at the Basin Reserve, on a sodden Wellington day. The umpires have just been out for an inspection of the ground, but (typically) they're hesitant to call it off (even though everyone knows it's gonna be like this all friggin day!).

They say they're going out for another look at 1:15pm, but I think the rain's getting a little heavier now, so I hope they come to their senses and call it off before then. I hate all this shagging around! Let's all go home and come back tomorrow! :yawn:

Pfft...

On a side note, I dont know why Katich doesnt get a bowl before Clarke in tests. Hes much more threatening (yes, I know all about Clarke's test record...)

Upper Kupe, you mean? ;) Well, that's interesting. I live in Lower Hutt, so maybe I can get away from this horrible grey day at the Basin in the next hour or so, and get back out to the sunny Hutt Valley!?

Where have those damn umpires gone? Give it up, lads! - It aint gonna happen! ;)

Clarke's probably going to be a decent part-timer in due time, like Lehmann. Katich is a bit erratic, but yes I think he should get a bowl more often as well. He's got a pretty impressive test record too, after all.

Katich has much more chance of taking a wicket IMO.

I would also bowl Katich ahead of Lehmann...

Looking out my office window now and it's raining and the fog has got worse!
